Yep that looks like it! Thanks for that. So they did have a windscreen!Been overseas so just logged on again.Just for interest, I was keeping an eye out while away and found these in York.Not as cute as mine but...

Another Question!Any idea of the year the boat is?I arrived on on my wife's family scene around 1980 and they already had the boat then bought second hand.It never had a windscreen or drivers seat. I think this photo I just found must be when he first got it.Thanks!!

On further investigation, I found over a quarter of a million EH's were built from 1963 - 1965.

In 1964 my Dad had an EH Station Wagon 179ci with three on the tree, as a Company Car. Dad travelled over 100,000 miles in that car before the first set of spark plugs were changed. His second Company Car was a HK Station Wagon 161ci with three on the tree. I was driving his HK around the local streets when I was only 12 years of age. Dads third Company Car was a HQ Kingswood Station Wagon 202ci with traumatic transmission. Arr... those were the days.

I would think the outboard date as Mercman stated would be correct for the Kingfisher. See the photo ( members boats ) I posted of the factory production line with a few kingfishers in the finishing section.Great photo of your pop, EH and boat.Mike g

My reason for not showing the exact year model is: all decals remained unchanged for three year models. (1970, 1971 and 1972) Primarily because Mercury were very busy throwing all of their energy and efforts into the design, development, prototypes etc for their game changing V6. The base of which is still in production today.
